The First Magic World War-Chapter 287 - : 280. Princess May’s "New Carriage

Chapter 287: 280. Princess May’s “New Carriage

Charles Mecklen was a 25th rank, fifth-class administrator in Fars, a 24th rank, first-class councilor in the Inglima Empire, and the Archives Commissioner of the Red Dragon Palace.

In the Inglima Empire, Charles had transcended insurmountable social classes, and upon returning to Inglima, he flourished even more than in Fars.

Indeed, the Augusladin High Priest was still in Notruden.

Upon arriving in Notruden, Charles immediately went to visit the Augusladin High Priest.

The High Priest, content in Notruden and unconcerned about Fars, was cheerfully riding in a carriage to discuss some church matters with local priests of The Lord of Radiance when he heard the sound of the carriage door being opened and a young man burst in.

When the Augusladin High Priest saw Charles, he was extremely surprised and asked, “Why have you returned to Notruden?”

Charles shrugged his shoulders and said, “Due to personal matters!”

“I know you do not care about money and glory, High Priest, but there is an opportunity to save the people of Fars that you surely would not want to miss.”

Though the Augusladin High Priest had his quirks, he was indeed a true member of the Sacred Order.

In Charles’s plan, this High Priest was very important.

When the Augusladin High Priest heard about money and glory, his eyes lit up and he asked, “What opportunity is this?”

Charles answered with a smile, “There is an Ancient Magic Warship belonging to pirates docked at a port hundreds of kilometers away. I discovered this news by chance…”

The voice of the Augusladin High Priest trembled as he asked, “Is this true?”

An Ancient Magic Warship, incalculably valuable and belonging to pirates, essentially meant it had no legal owner and could be openly seized.

Charles replied, “Of course, I was hiding on that ship when I came to Notruden Island.”

“Moreover, there is no Sacred Order aboard the ship, High Priest, before you it is like a defenseless, pure virgin.”

The excitement of the Augusladin High Priest grew even more, but after a few minutes of excitement, he fell into contemplation and said, “Unless you can find another member of the Sacred Order, I will not make a move.”

Charles did not ask why the High Priest had made this condition, but he immediately agreed, saying, “It’s possible!”

The Augusladin High Priest showed a smile that said ‘just as I thought’, a smile filled with profound meaning, as though holding back a flood of complaints.

As Charles was planning to visit someone else, he heard the High Priest say, “Go to 698 South Sevantes Riverside Street.”

Charles was startled and asked, “What’s at 698?”

The High Priest answered with a smile, “Princess May came back from Fars and switched to a new carriage.”

Charles suddenly felt uneasy, and rightly so, as the High Priest continued, “It’s that black luxury of yours.”

“Originally, the Great Eldest Princess resided at 699 South Sevantes Riverside Street, seldom leaving the house, but now she goes to the bookstore every day, and every time she leaves, she rides in the black luxury, and all of Notruden knows it…”

Charles defiantly said, “How does this concern me?”

The Augusladin High Priest patted his shoulder and said, “You probably don’t know yet, but Emperor Alfred Guillaume has recently promoted you!”

“Mister Charles Mecklen, you are now a 23rd rank, second-class councilor, the Archives Commissioner of the Red Dragon Palace and the Literary Advisor of the Yuquan Palace!”

This news was indeed surprising and delightful, but Charles did not understand why the Augusladin High Priest connected all these events together.

The High Priest saw that he seemed somewhat bewildered, so he delivered the final heavy blow, speaking with a smile, “The reason for your promotion is that you’ve won the great delight of the Great Eldest Princess.”

Charles couldn’t help but blurt out, “Isn’t this just forcefully creating a public image?”

And it was even encouraged by none other than the Emperor of the Inglima Empire, His Majesty Alfred Guillaume himself!

The Augusladin High Priest didn’t understand what “forcefully creating a public image” meant, but he still said with a smile, “You’ve arrived at 699 South Sevantes Riverside Street!”

“Mister Charles Mecklen, I wish you good luck!”

“Should you find another of the Sacred Order to act, I am at your beck and call.”

Charles got down from the carriage, feeling somewhat dazed as he looked at the small hill beside the Sevantes River and hesitated…

Five minutes later, he was standing in the lobby of 699 South Sevantes Riverside Street.

He hadn’t even said anything when he was outside, and the door opened by itself.

It was Charles’s first time visiting the private residence of Princess May, similar in style to number 698, also quite large, with many books piled up in the rooms.

The Great Eldest Princess was still clad in a black robe, her demeanor cool and aloof, not even preparing a glass of water for Charles.

Abiding by the principle of “since I’m already here,” Charles straightforwardly made his request, saying, “There is an Ancient Magic Warship of pirates docked at a port hundreds of kilometers away, and it has no Sacred Order overseeing it. I want to gather a few people and seize it.”

Princess May was silent for a while, then asked, “Is it the Queen Bee?”

Charles nodded and replied, “Yes, that ship!”

Princess May said, “You can’t seize it!”

Charles was slightly surprised and asked, “Why?”

Princess May coldly explained, “The control core of the Queen Bee is one of the three Golden Rings, now in the hands of the Golden Ram Herolf, and its storage container, the Crystal Vase, has long been lost!”

“With the Golden Ring in his possession, Herolf could destroy or sink it, but as long as the Golden Ram summons it, it will return to St. Michael Island.”

Charles’s body trembled with excitement as he took out the Crystal Vase and handed it to Princess May, asking, “Is this it?”

Princess May felt the Crystal Vase, took down the opulently dark ring and handed it to Charles.

All the excitement Charles had momentarily felt vanished.

Princess May was quiet for a while, then unusually explained, “Even if you obtain the Queen Bee, you won’t be able to keep it!”

“But under my name, no one else would dare to target it.”

Charles’s sense told him that Princess May spoke the truth; if he were to quietly take the Queen Bee, all would be well, but having alarmed the Augusladin High Priest and Princess May, surely many would know that this Legendary Warship was in the hands of a Mid-Level Transcendent.

Not to mention that a decree from the Central Government Office of the Fars Empire or an order from Julius Axler could plunge him into difficulties.

Even assuming nominal ownership by his senior, Menilman, wouldn’t be safe due to Menilman’s status, which was not sufficient to stop the covetousness from the Empire’s upper echelons.

But under Princess May, there would be no problem at all. She was, after all, the aunt of the current Emperor of the Inglima Empire, His Majesty Alfred Guillaume the fifteenth.
